Family Mistakenly Buys $10,000 in Disney+ Gift Cards for Theme Park Trip

Disney intervenes to convert streaming service gift cards into park gift cards, saving family's Christmas vacation.

A family planning a Disney vacation accidentally purchased $10,000 worth of Disney+ streaming service gift cards instead of Disney Parks gift cards.
The family, consisting of 16 members, had originally planned the trip for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic.
The mix-up occurred because the parents, who were unfamiliar with streaming services, did not realize there was a difference between Disney+ and Disney Parks gift cards.
The family was initially distressed as they were due to leave in six days and park tickets were selling out due to the Christmas holiday.
Disney reached out to the family and successfully converted the Disney+ gift cards into Disney Parks gift cards, allowing the family to proceed with their vacation.
